McDonald's wedding: The McHappily ever after meal

A McDonald’s wedding may seem like a contradiction of terms, but not in Hong Kong.

As of the new year, the city will start offering weddings at three McDonald’s locations for the very low price of a few thousand dollars depending on what guests order, reports CNN.

“People said they’d dated here, or met here, and wanted to get married here . . . We see this as a business chance,” Helen Cheung, McDonald’s director of corporate communications in Hong Kong, told Reuters.

There will be no alcohol allowed, only soft drinks and a wedding “cake” made out of a pile of carefully placed McDonald’s apple pies. And let’s not forget the “french fry kiss” where couples nibble on opposite ends of a french fry before kissing. But perhaps the best part, a wedding dress made out of hot dog shaped balloons.

Who knows, maybe these weddings will be a hit, if for no other reason than cost. Reuters reports that traditional Chinese weddings have become a growing financial burden for many young Hong Kongers.
